Unions Form Pro Bono Legal Network for Federal Workers Targeted by Trump
Briefly

The A.F.L.-C.I.O. has established the Rise Up: Federal Workers Legal Defense Network, composed of over 1,000 trained lawyers across 42 states. This initiative aims to support federal workers whose jobs are at risk due to the Trump administration's policies. Faced with mixed success in lawsuits against significant firings, the unions seek proactive legal guidance for workers, offering services even to non-union members. This new effort complements their ongoing litigation amid rising dismissals, while also cautious of legal ambiguities at agencies impacted by current political challenges.
The nation's largest federation of unions has launched the Rise Up: Federal Workers Legal Defense Network to support federal employees facing job security threats under the Trump administration.
This network, formed by the A.F.L.-C.I.O. and various civil rights groups, aims to provide legal aid to federal workers, regardless of union membership.
